Don't touch the stuff USA, foreign muck. Although I do like Wiener Schnitzel and wurst obviously , oh and that smoked processed cheese which comes in a sausage and I only eat it because it's Austrian. I don't like cheese.

I think Knill is finding it a bit tough but at the end of the day, there are plenty of footballers of all abilities and backgrounds out of work now and there will be plenty to go around. Knill just has to make sure he gets a few that come good and not just panic sign at the death just to make up the numbers. It will all work out though i'm sure and these next two weeks should get our juices flowing as I fully expect a glut of new additions. In Knill we trust. He saved us from playing Alfreton, the man is a genius.

funds are avalible and wages are pretty good for this league, rene was offered a good deal to stay the sort of wages that any of us would like, the players will arrive when ak is ready to sign the ones he wants, we are all fustrated and want to see signings , there are plenty of average players who he could sign but he wants the right ones, everyone keeps on that the money cant be there, we were operating on the same sort of budget last season as yeovil were and this season are buget is 400k than are scummy friends up the road, so let ak get on with his job and trust. give the guy a break.

I hate to turn in to the Internet grammar police but I'm having difficulty understanding this, "we were operating on the same sort of budget last season as yeovil were and this season are buget is 400k than are scummy friends up the road".
Are you saying that last season we had the same budget as Yeovil used to get promoted to the Championship and this season we have £400k more than Exeter have? Surprising to say the least!

ROADRUNNER · Post by **ROADRUNNER** » 28 Jun 2013, 14:33

thats fine phil, thats what im saying, exeter have had it cut by 400k we had the same budget as they had last season and yeovil operated on the same, as you are probably aware there team was made up of a lot of loanies. apologies if the grammer aint up to scratch but they maybe to do with my school days or lack of them, anyway that is it in a nutshell .and we arent as hard up as many clubs and we arent spending money we aint got , you only have to look at some of the clubs and the trouble they are in.

I thought I read somewhere that our budget has decreased?

Any news on signings RR

ROADRUNNER · Post by **ROADRUNNER** » 28 Jun 2013, 14:54

same as last year exile, exeter have had there budget cut thats why cureton and co have left, as for players all i know is what you probably already know, we are waiting on answers from benyon,tonge, and two unknown strikers one from abroad, chappell is still being pursued but as they have a new manager i think knill is waiting to see what happens, we are also in talks with a centre half and midfielder, names unknown.

As most know, I'm a massive Benyon fan, and really hope he signs. But at what point are we going to say to him (and others i suppose), we need an answer? We've been in this position beofre - waiting for answers from our primary targets, as others we might have been interested in are signing elsewhere...

ROADRUNNER · Post by **ROADRUNNER** » 28 Jun 2013, 16:52

i agree fonda but i dont think the agents help. like you im a big fan so hope he signs.

cambgull · Post by **cambgull** » 28 Jun 2013, 16:59

Benyon will be keeping his options open, like anyone would do in his position. Wait until the players stop earning their pay checks while on holiday and I think you'll soon start seeing them making decisions. Anyone decent for this level is going to be attracting attention from several clubs and will want to make sure they make the right choice, so the fact that Knill hasn't signed anyone yet shows me the level of quality he is going for.

You (prospective player) are a lazy,overpaid greedy b@st@rd (haggles for £50) who knows the first week or two are nut busters courtesy of a Royal Marines fitness instructor.

It comes as no surprise to me why there are no new signings.
